Normally you are supposed to arrive Japan on 28th of October and leave on 1st of November only to attend the symposium, and in that case you need only the three documents. However if you stay Japan longer than the period (for example, if you arrive on 27th of October or earlier, or leave on 2nd of November or later), we also need 身元保证书, the guarantee letter. Noted that this is a special case: Normally we send you only three documents (1) 招聘理由书, (2) 停留日程表, and (3) 在职证明书.
